It has been one of the most expensive fixtures on the McDonald's menu since it was introduced back in 2009, but Friday the food chain announced its run is coming to an end: say farewell to the Angus Third Pounder burger.

The sandwich is being removed from the U.S. menu "to make room for new and exciting choices," a McDonald's Corp. spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
